Backed into a corner
A confession finally babbles
It’s why out of your mouth via phone
Into my ears
I say goodbye
As I listen to you cry
I lay my head to rest that night
Falling asleep without a single tear
Now you come back
Say you want to be friends
We’ll talk or visit once a week
I with reservation agree
Iterating that is all it will be
You do me a favor
Take me to an appointment
Then take me to a place you’d like to buy
There you start talking
About how nice
It would be for the both of us to live there
And the game begins
The circles of chatter from your lips
Spiral through my brain
Like an old pain
The game of life
Yes, what you use to say
Most every day
It’s just a game
Came to mind
You said it would be nice if both of us
I heard he’s fucking with you
Friendship isn’t what he wants
Same old story on a different day
I decide to play
This game of life
Play with your life
Like you played with mine
Intentional or not
It’s irrelevant at this point
Your inability to except no
Is unacceptable an open invitation
You’re not dealing with who think
I’m mean and demanding
I make the rules and you follow
Step out of line and I’ll knock you down
Word games my fav
You ask am I fucking with you
I say I know no one is going to fuck with me
You laugh it off like a joke
You buy me a ring
I slip it on my middle finger
And flip it to you
Saying I’m just fucking with you
Again you laugh it off like a joke
When I’m done with you
You can say I fucked with you
But you can’t say I never said I wasn’t
Although my morals are ambiguous
I’m a bitch with integrity
Just remember you invited yourself
I just repositioned myself
You say you wish I’d be nice
You can change
I say I have changed
Just not the way you’d like
You say the same old shit
Between the lines I hear differently
The true meanings this time
Can’t escape my wit
You crack a joke
Laugh then say
I’m just fucking with you
I say I know you are
You say I’m beautiful
I remember I haven’t combed my hair
Nor showered in three days
I hear ugly
You’re a keeper
I hear you say stupid
You say I’d make a great wife
I hear you say toy
You say you’ll do what ever it takes
With a sigh of depressed irritation
That grows deeper every time
I make you reach into your wallet
Never putting out
And by the way never will
So you go into fast mod
Trying to change the time frame of my rules
Trying to squeeze four years into one
And next month it will be four months
See I know the game and how it’s played
Get back in your place I’m the player
I make the rules
And when the games over it’s you who falls apart
I told you where to place me on that pedestal
So I can look down on you
But you must have thought
That was just another joke
I know no jokes
I tell no jokes
I am no joke
You are the joke
It’s been a month
You don’t seem to be catching on
A little dense in the intelligence department
You speak of your ex wife often
How she was so mean to you
And I wonder did you cheat on her too
Was she once a nice woman?
Turned mean and nasty
By a wandering pecker head
Who said he was just fucking with her
It‘s all a game
I’m playing the game
Playing you
Having fun with you
At your expense
Not mine
Not this time
And when it’s all done and said
I’ll drop you a dime
And a phone number
To the been fucked hotline
